WHITBY -- Police said Tuesday afternoon foul play isn’t suspected in the disappearance of a Whitby man, missing since he left his house for a Monday morning jog.
Police are asking the public to search their properties for Jeffrey Boucher, 52. The popular Bowmanville High School teacher was last seen Sunday night, and it’s believed he left his Gilchrist Court home for an early-morning run Monday.
“It’s a routine missing person case for us,” Durham Regional Police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy said during a press conference Tuesday. “He wasn’t dressed for the outdoors. That’s elevated our concern.”
Sgt. van Rooy said Mr. Boucher’s personal belongings and vehicle were still at his home.
“There’s a heightened concern as temperatures are dropping,” she noted.
“We don’t know, technically, if he’s gone off the road,” she added.Watch another video clip here.
